+1. After working for 3 days for me, status update and starting CC remotely failed again for me this morning.

"Climate control on request failed" at 05:45 pst. CC request initiated via the LEAF Link app timer function (set to 05:45), but since the failure notification was text message from Carwings, I am assuming the request was sent successfully.

Didn't want to work for me this morning. I tried to do a manual charge, tried to get status, and tried to start climate control. All failed. I had to make an extra trip this morning, so I'll be on LBW or VLBW when I get home tonight. I really could have used that 100% charge today. It was in the 30's this morning, so a warm car would have really been nice too.

Agree, it's starting off just like last time -- a few days of intermittent problems which then led up to a complete outage. Hopefully Nissan can nip this episode in the bud and get a permanent fix installed.

Yes, status just updated OK for me right now. Somebody must have rebooted something again. All in all, this is pretty marginal behavior for such an important corporate system so many people use. Hardly "enterprise" quality.

Nissan and our vendors have been carefully monitoring CARWINGS performance as well as social media, forums and blogs and are aware of the intermittent connectivity issues that some customers have continued to experience this week. Due to the intermittent nature of the issues that these customers are experiencing and the localized impact of weather on cellular availability, we have decided to evaluate some vehicles directly via remote diagnostics to trace and determine specific cause. If you are experiencing recurring connectivity issues and would like to give us permission to use your vehicle specifically for remote testing, please contact our call center at 877-664-2738 or via live chat on the LEAF website today or Monday. We sincerely appreciate your patience and support as we work through these issues – this is the highest priority for our technical organization to address and resolve.

A bit longer to log into the app than I'd perhaps like, but super-snappy responses to given commands.

Same here. It's worked as well as it ever has in the 3 months I've had the car (oooh, I wish I could step into a time machine and give myself my 2011 LEAF back in 2011! Haha...).

But that in and of itself means that it's sub-par performance. The app's still slightly rough around the edges. A big, persistent, and "in the nature of the app" bug (so it should be observed by every other user as well) still persists. Multitasking kills this app. On most Android phones and the iPhone, they multitask by keeping background apps in memory unless the phone's resources are needed for other things. So when I've used the LEAF app recently, it'll show me a "good to go" app when I haven't done enough else on my phone to push LEAF out of memory. So when I go back to the app and it hasn't closed an hour or two later, it still thinks I'm logged in until I hit a button like "refresh" or "start CC". So if I fire up my phone and the LEAF app once, it loads with the proper "Nissan"... "Verifying user information"... "What do you want to do?" program flow. But if I then click off my phone, derp around for a few hours, maybe start playing some music on the phone throughout the day (I make full use of the LEAF's Bluetooth stereo!), then go back to the app, then not enough had been done yet to "clear" LEAF out of memory. LEAF opens back up to the same page I was at, and doesn't realize the login has timed out already. So I actually *have* to do something to trigger its "Session timed out, please login again" error.

Honestly, that ^ behavior should have been caught during beta testing in my opinion.

Additionally, the longest the whole request should take is the amount of time the app takes to "send request". Instead, it takes a few seconds to "send request" and then 10-30 seconds to actually get the job done. Those delays - the login timeout problem, the "sending request", and the time it takes to process the request, move the app out of "something I would subconsciously do as I'm considering leaving" into "well, I need to plan around this task and I'll just skip it if it's not important"... it really needs to respond quicker overall in my opinion.

Thanks for monitoring the situation. I've switched from setting the timer via the app the evening before, to turning on the heat when I first get up, and haven't had any more problems or communication failures since the 28th.
